Chapter 353

His fate did not change much.

It was nothing more than that under Shiraishi's training, Asakura Riku's life became more comfortable and his academic affairs went more smoothly, that's all.

If there is any regret that makes people sigh...

Then we have to mention that thing.

Even Shiraishi had to frown and fall into silence in front of this matter.

And that thing is...

Asakura Riku, he couldn't accept the special coffee made by Shiraishi himself!

Shiraishi originally thought that Asakura Riku, who had the genetic genes of Belia, could accept it.

Unexpectedly, Asakura Riku couldn't accept the taste of the coffee made by Shiraishi at all.

This even led to the fact that when Asakura Riku's classmates were full of black coffee and high-quality ground coffee powder, and then moaned about "life is so bitter", Asakura Riku chose instant coffee with a lot of milk and sugar without hesitation.

Later, Shiraishi thought that it was probably because the genetic genes of Belia in Asakura Riku's body had not yet exerted their power at that time, so Asakura Riku couldn't accept the coffee he made.

However, after that, when Shiraishi thought that Asakura Riku had grown up to the point where he could accept the coffee he made, Asakura Riku had already developed a psychological shadow on Shiraishi's coffee, so he would not drink another cup no matter what.

This made Shiraishi very regretful.

Apart from that, Asakura Riku's life was just the life of an ordinary single-parent family.

Of course, because of Shiraishi's care and the improvement of material conditions, Asakura Riku was exposed to a little more things.

For example -

playing cards.

Speaking of playing cards, we have to mention some other arrangements made by Shiraishi in this world.

In order to integrate into this world, and to allow himself to have some other power to use when he cannot fully release the power of Holmonks, Shiraishi finally chose to use commercial means to make some arrangements.

So, he used a little trick to use his savings from his previous work at the Toudou Advanced Material Research Institute and the Abnormal Incident Investigation Division of the Fuudou Metropolitan Police Department to open a new company in the world of Geed.

Foundation K.

As for the main business of Foundation K...

Produce a few animations for teenagers that are slightly related to fate and light and darkness and are centered on card competitions.

By the way, print out the small cards in the animation and sell them in the form of card packs.

Then organize some competitions.

If there is spare capacity, make some video games.

Later, when Shiraishi hoped that Asakura Riku would exercise and hone his will, Foundation K even started a gym-related business.

In short, it was a scattershot, doing a little bit of everything, and it was relatively successful.

So, after that, Shiraishi's business empire was established in just six years.

He didn't even use the power of Holmunk or the power of alchemy to refine gold and use it to accumulate his wealth.

It's too inefficient...

It's better to release a new card pack.

The achievements created by Foundation K have become a business miracle recorded in history.

However, Shiraishi, who has always been well versed in the way of slacking off, did not devote too much energy to it.

After Consortium K was on the right track, Shiraishi used the power of alchemy to create an alchemy doll of Seto Kaiba and handed over the operation of Consortium K to Seto Kaiba.

Therefore, the president of Consortium K was the genius boy Seto Kaiba.

Shiraishi himself just took a position like creative director in Consortium K, and regularly transferred a part of the money from Consortium K to himself every month.

If the content of the work and the relationship between Shiraishi and Seto Kaiba were not explained, everyone would think that Shiraishi was just an ordinary employee working in Consortium K.

Even Asakura Riku didn't know how important Shiraishi was in Consortium K.

He only knew that Shiraishi worked in Consortium K and occasionally got involved in some work related to card making, and that was about it.

Therefore, Asakura Riku's personality did not change much because of this.

After all, in Asakura Riku's view, Shiraishi, who lived with Asakura Riku, still cooked by himself, still rode a bicycle to get off work, and still had to pay for card packs and cards like Asakura Riku.

No matter how you look at it, he was just an ordinary employee.

Therefore, he naturally felt that he was just living in an ordinary family.

Asakura Riku did not ask, and Shiraishi naturally did not explain too much.

Moreover, in addition to ensuring a certain quality of life, Shiraishi did not spend too much money on visible places.

It is normal for Asakura Riku to have such a misunderstanding.

The wealth accumulated by Shiraishi was naturally spent somewhere else.

That was one of Shiraishi's arrangements.

丬After recalling what he had experienced after visiting this world, Shiraishi also put his eyes on the food in front of him again.

At this time, Asakura Riku, who was in a hurry to go to the card shop to play cards, had already put down his bowl and chopsticks. He nodded slightly to Shiraishi and greeted him, then grabbed the thermos full of hot soup, put on his schoolbag and left Shiraishi's house.

At the same time, in the shadow of Asakura Riku, a strange creature also silently clasped his hands together to express his gratitude for his food.

Then, the figure disappeared.

Shiraishi watched Asakura Riku leave, but he didn't say much.

As for the strange creature, he simply pretended not to see it.

All along, the Shiraishi residence has been operating under such circumstances.

......

After leaving the Shiraishi residence, Asakura Riku looked back at the gate with lingering fear.

After making sure that Shiraishi didn't catch up with him with a coffee cup, Asakura Riku slowly breathed a sigh of relief and then got on his bicycle.

Then, Asakura Riku showed a sunny and cheerful smile and rode towards the card store.

Asakura Riku was in a good mood.

It is better to say that during the time he lived with Shiraishi, except when Shiraishi inexplicably brought out coffee for Asakura Riku to drink, Asakura Riku was in a good mood most of the time.

After all, living with Shiraishi is a very comfortable thing in itself.

There is a reason why Asakura Riku calls Shiraishi by his name.

It's not that he doesn't respect Shiraishi.

In fact, in Asakura Riku's heart, Shiraishi's status is still very high.

Especially after growing up and getting some information, Asakura Riku can understand what Shiraishi has provided him.

A warm home.

A harbor to return to at any time.

A small corner where you can cry unscrupulously in difficult times.

However, Asakura Riku calls Shiraishi by his name, which is actually related to this.

When Asakura Riku was still young, the gentle Shiraishi came to him. Shiraishi's meticulous care and quiet and weak voice hindered the young Asakura Riku from recognizing Shiraishi.

For the young Asakura Riku, the impact of such Shiraishi was too great.

Asakura Riku called Shiraishi "Mom" for two years.

During that period, Shiraishi tried to correct him several times.

But Asakura Riku did not accept the correction.

Pretty and gentle, what else could she be but a mother?

When Asakura Riku gradually grew up and realized his mistakes, those two years became a dark history that Asakura Riku would never want to face.

In the end, he chose to change his name.

However, the change did not go smoothly.

If you want to abandon the name of mother and replace it with other names for relatives, it will feel very strange no matter how you change it.

If you want to change from mother to father...

To be honest, it's very strange.

At least from the appearance, Shiraishi is not that much older than Asakura Riku.

The two of them are more like brothers when walking together.

The young mother is still acceptable.

But the young father always feels strange.

Moreover, the name of father is too similar to mother, which always makes Asakura Riku PTSD.

So, this plan was ruled out.

What about the brother?

Although in terms of age, calling Shiraishi brother is not a big problem...

But changing from mother to brother, the confusion between generations makes Asakura Riku difficult to adapt.

Asakura Riku was used to calling him, and the neighbors also assumed that Shiraishi was older than Asakura Riku.

If you call her like this, interpersonal relationships will be messed up in strange places.

So the elder brother's plan was also abandoned.

In the end, taking advantage of the rebellious period, Asakura Riku chose to call Shiraishi by her name.

Fortunately, Shiraishi did not resist too much.

Just like he finally accepted Asakura Riku calling him mom, and chose to grow long hair to prevent others from looking at Asakura Riku who called her mom strangely.

So, such a name-calling has been used until now.

Just as Asakura Riku was riding towards the card store, a strange creature slowly emerged from the shadow behind him.

"Xiao Lu, don't forget to try the Hope card deck I put together today.

"I've been looking forward to it for a long time."

The strange creature's voice was a little weak.

Asakura Riku turned his head, smiled and looked at his shadow, and nodded slightly.

"Don't worry, Pejia, I will also read out the super summoning words when stacking.

"I guarantee that the Hope deck you build will become the most beautiful deck in the card store."

Pejia from Pejia Star.

Asakura Riku's alien partner.

Six years ago, shortly after Shiraishi adopted Asakura Riku, Asakura Riku met Pejia who came to Earth alone.

After that, the sunny and cheerful Asakura Riku and the somewhat weak Pejia became friends.

Later, Asakura Riku even invited Pejia to become his family and live with him.

Pejia finally agreed to Asakura Riku.

However, whether out of shyness or fear of human society and adult humans, Pejia did not openly reveal his existence to Asakura Riku's guardian Shiraishi.

He hid in Asakura Riku's shadow, and occasionally left Asakura Riku's shadow when Shiraishi left home to communicate with Asakura Riku.

So the two became secret friends who only communicated when they were alone.

Fortunately, Shiraishi's house did not have any access control.

Therefore, Asakura Riku and Pejia had many opportunities to communicate, and their friendship was quickly cultivated and became as strong as it is today.

Of course, Shiraishi had already noticed Pejia's existence.

However, the cowardly Pejia did not intend to make it public, so Shiraishi naturally did not intend to expose it.

All he had to do was consider Pejia when buying clothes and food.
